That depends on how much stuff you plan on running at once. NetBSD
needs neither more nor less VM than Linux or FreeBSD. Usually, I
allocate twice real memory as swap, but that's just an old rule of
thumb from before the beginning of time, and has little to do with
what one "needs". Can't hurt, though.
